Should I do the happy dance yet?

[monavenir]

G3, EOT 12 weeks Sovaldi /RIBA 34 weeks.  did my blood work Monday. I just stop at the hospital to get part of the results . The VL is not ready yet but my ALT 11 and AST 18 GGT 14. My question , is it to early to do the Happy Dance?

Mona, I am so very happy for you.  Your ALt and AST sound really really good.  After I treated and relapsed the virus came back stronger than ever and my AST and ALT went up higher than they had ever been.

I am doing a happy dance for you! Getting out my red shoes now, can't wait to hear you are SVR
Take Care

Good luck with the results.  Next week will be here before you know it!

24 weeks treatment not 34 ?!? Sorry bad typo! And yes 12 weeks end of treatment .  I just want to put SVR beside my name for once. At my last relapse in 2009 my ALT went right up at end of Tx. Cross my fingers !! I will know for sure next week.

OK I see it was 34 weeks of treatment so yes if it is the 12 week post treatment awesome good luck!

Hi Mona
Congrats on finishing treatment.

Do you mean your tests are 12 weeks after you finished treatment? Or this test is your end of 12 weeks of treatment that you just completed?

I believe almost everyone clears on treatment but the definitive test is the one 12 weeks after your treatment has ended.

Either way hope you hear undetectable and if it is 12 week post EOT that is considered SVR and cured!

Good luck
Lynn

Sounds good but wait for the viral load.   You can have normal Blood tests and have Hepatitis C.  Mine were always in normal range even before treatment.   The viral load test is the proof.  

Good Luck and best to you.
